Knowest thou that seas are sweeping Where cities once have been When ihe calm wave is sleeping, Their towers may yet be seen; Far down below the glassy tide Man's dwellings where his voice hath died. Knowest thou that flocks are feedin Above the tombs of old, to Which kings, their armies leadin" Have lingered to behold? A short smooth green sward o'er them spread Is all that marks where heroes bled. Knowest thou that now the token Of temples once renowned, Is but a pillar broken, With yluss and wall flowers crowned? And the lone serpent rears her young Where the triumphant lyre hath sung?

About six years ao there arrived there from Germany a young man and woman, who, during the voy age, had. formed a mutual attachment, and had resolved upon a matrimonial connection. Ow ing, however, to their ignorance of American manners, and other causes, they were not mar ried according to the laws of tho state, but lived together as husband and wife in a small house erected by the man. In this way they had lived together for aix years, until some G weeks since, although the man was frequently urged UV llie VOUI Wlimail tn mnrrv mr nu tr- tfni.- t ..

Esnpoi'Jaiat Discovery Messrs. T. and II. Smith, of Edinburg, have discovered an antidote to Prussic acid. The sulphate of iron, commonly called green vitriol, was lately slated by Sir George Lefever, to be an antidote to this poison, in the pages of the Lancet. Ii is not so, as the Messrs. Smith show in reply. However, the presentation of oxidized iron to the deadiv acid is iu realitv the fundamental feature of their own discovery. Only ii was necessary to find out how to pre sent it to the acid, in the shape in which the acid will combine with it, and to do that safely a diflicult matter, as all medical men well know. The iron, a the late experiments de monstrate, must lie in a state partly ofperoxidu, and partly of protoxide, and when combined with which, only, will the acid form the desired compound, well known as Prussian blue, which is perfectly harmless in the stomach. It was the observation that, in that salt the iron was peculiarly and doubly oxidized, which while showing the usefulness of common sulphate of iron, Migesled the very formation of another combination of the sulphuric acid with the oxi dized metal, which takes up Prussic acid, and forms the Prussian blue. The accomplishment of this combination constitutes- the antidote. The Prussic acid is turned in the stomach into Prussian blue, there an inert, and harmless body. Tribute to Mr. Clay. The Paris correspondent of the Boston Al ias, writing under date of the 1st ultimo, says : '' I was shown yesterday a beautiful gold snuff-box, which was made for and carried by Peter the Great.

It was given by him to the ancestors of one of the leading noblemen of Russia, who has given it io Mr. Duncan, of New Orleans, to present to his friend Henry Clay, as an anonymous tribute to his talents as a statesman and his worth as a citizen.

Fertility of Texas. xn exchange paper says that a pig of cast iron was planted early in the spring iu a fine prairie iu Texas, and we have received advices that a large tree has grown on tho spot, bearing tea kettles, flatirons, crow bars, and gridirons. It is said that ihero is a girl down east who cuts two cords of wood a day. attends to all the I household affairs, drives homo the cows, can lift a barrel of cider, and occasionally whips the schoolmaster when none of the boys are able to do it. PcSaloes. We hear considerable complaint from the farmers in this vicinity, says tho Buffalo Com- : merctai Advertiser, iliat Uietr potatoes are be j ginning to rot. The tops are stricken with rust, , and dying before the plant has come to maturi ty. If any of-our readers havo an opportunity it) save poiatoe balls or the seeds of this plant, we advise them to do so. The tons with ihe balls ! on can be hung up under a shed and dried and Kepi ready lor planting next spring. It is the opinion of several eminent agricultural writers in Germany, Russia and Great Britian, that by continuous propagation from the tubers for many years, without recurring to the natural seed of the plant, it has lost so much of its vigor and vital power. A late number of the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England has ja valuable, paper, written by a Russian, on this supjeci, wnose name wo do not remember. The " Dry Gangrene," or a disease which may be designated by some oilier name, has effected for several years, tho potatoc crop- of Great Britain, Germany, Russia and Sweden.

The following letter from Mr. Clay to the Hon. John-IU. Clayton, is deserving of atten tion : Blue Licks, August 22, 1S44. My Dear Sir Your supposition is right as to the oppressive extent of my correspondence. It is utterly impossible to answer all the letters which I receive. I am afraid that 1 cannot re ply to many that deserve it. Mr. Madion once remarked to me thai Mr. Jefferson's correspon dents were killing him ; but they were furnish ed by a population of about ten millions. Mine are supplied by a population of near twenty millions. 1 can feel and conceive the possibil ity of a homicide, committed in the mode which Mr. Madison suggested. CO I request you to attribute to the above cause, my omission to express to you before the satis faction I derived from the perusal of your ad mirable speech on ihe Compromise law. No man knew belter ihe motives and considerations which prompted its passage than you did, and you have aidy and truly exposed them. We were upon terms of the most confidential inti macy and friendship. You daily, in the Senate sat near mo. You knew of my consultation with the practical manufacturers, and their co incidence in opinion with us. I believe ii was upon your invitation, that the lamented Dupont came front Delaware and conferred with us. Upon more occasions than one, whilst gazing upon the care-worn countenances and haggard looks of some of the delegation iu Congress from South Carolina, you said to me, " Clay, these are fine fellows. It won't do to let old Jackson hang them. We must save them." You lived in a mess of some seven or eight Senators, and it was your mess that insisted upon the Home valuation, as a sine qua non Mr. Calhoun opposed it. Your mess perse vered. The fate of the bill was threatened ; but he, at the last moment, withdrew his oppo sition, and the bill finally passed. I have again and again asserted, on the floor of the Senate, that two principal objects were aimed to be accomplished. One was to avcit a civil war. The oilier was to preserve the policy of protection. It was threatened, by Mr. Verplank's bill, with total subversion ; and I be iieved then, and believe now, that, if the Com promise had not passed, at the next session of Congress, all traces of that policy would have been effaced from the statute book. You and I both maintained that the measure of protection preserved' by the Compromise wntiid bp. snthrieiii until nhfiiit IS. 12. Hut we wre taunted by our opponents, to know what would bo its condition when that period arrived. We replied there were the home valuation, cash duties, a long list of free articles, &e. But 1 said, also, let us lake care of ourselves now ; ihe people of lfcT42 may be trusted to take care of themselves. Public opinion, m tho mean- lime, may become more enlightened, and the wisdom of the protective policy may be demon - strated. I hae not been disappointed. My nredtclions have been fulfilled. The neonle o! ( . i 1842, ihe Whigs at least, every where, and many of the Democrats, are now fully persua ded thai the industry of this country, ought not to be prostrated at the fuel of forrtgn powers. Every where tho cry is for a Tariff of Revenue, wiih discriminations for protection. Every where the preservation of tho Tariff of 1S42, which has worked so well, and is delivering us from embarrassments is loudly demanded. The circumstances which led to, or attended the enactment of the Compromise, may be cu rious and interesting as matters of history; but, in respect to ihe policy of protection, tho great, practical, absorbing question is, shall the Tariff of 1842 bo preserved or repealed ? That ques tion is to be solved in November next. I have repeatedly expressed my opinion UNEQU1 OCALLY IN FAVOR OF IT. I thought wo achieved a great triumph in placing the Protective policy, by ihe Compro mise act, without the reach and beyond llie term of General Jackson's administration. And we availed ourselves of the fact that the South Carolina delegation were much more anxious that the difficulty should be settled by us than by General Jackson. You tell me that 1 am accused of having abandoned tho protective policy. That would distress mo exceedingly, if I were not accused of all sorts of crimes and misdemeanors. I be lieve I have been charged with every crime enumerated in the Decalogue. 1 laugh at ihe sirails lo which my opponents are driven. They are io be pitied. Shrinking from all the issues arising out of the great question of na tional policy, which havo hitherto divided the country, they have no other refuge left, but in personal abuse, detraction, and defamation. I have lived down these attacks heretofore, and with ihe blessing of Providence, I hope to sur vive those which they are now directing against mo. Most certainly my surprise at ihe attempt to make me out a friend of free trade with for eign countries, and an opponent of the protec tive policy, ought not to bo greater than thai of my competitor at the-effort to establish his friendship for the protective policy.
